300 fps

CASIO's next-generation camera shoots VGA-equivalent movies at a speed of 300 frames per second. This means that you can easily shoot ultra slow-motion movies at speeds that have until now been available only on professional level cameras. Not only does this open up a whole new world of motion that is not apparent to the naked eye, it also provides a valuable tool for analysis of sports events and fast-moving action.

My feature requests

I would really like the camera to be able to output in the .png format, in at least truecolor RGB type 2 with 48 bits. The other formats would be good as well.

It would also be good to use both compact flash and SD cards. Flexible battery; being able to use Nimh AA cells and a lithium battery pack. An external battery pack able to use Nimh C cells, that uses the internal cells at the same time. A full featured and powerful handle bar flash, that allows use of the built in flash at the same time. Good sound recording.

Continuous wifi dump of images/files to portable hard drive, and/or other media, computer, network, internet. Being able to view/review images in real time on a larger portable external screen via wifi, (a 4x6 inch screen would be nice). If you decided to make the screen a full featured remote controller for the camera I would not mind.

High Dynamic Range (HDR) Photography in Photoshop CS2

High Dynamic Range (HDR) Photography in Photoshop CS2:

"High dyanmic range (HDR) images enable photographers to record a greater range of tonal detail than a given camera could capture in a single photo. This opens up a whole new set of lighting possibilities which one might have previously avoided—for purely technical reasons. The new 'merge to HDR' feature of Photoshop CS2 allows the photographer to combine a series of bracketed exposures into a single image which encompasses the tonal detail of the entire series. There is no free lunch however; trying to broaden the tonal range will inevitably come at the expense of decreased contrast in some tones. Learning to use the merge to HDR feature in Photoshop CS2 can help you make the most of your dynamic range under tricky lighting—while still balancing this trade-off with contrast."
